Setting your Root password

The root account is the user with read and write privileges to all files and folders on your server. Make sure that this password can not easily be guessed and is not a password used for other accounts.

Normally if your domain is already pointed at and resolving to Bluehost name servers and the server IP, you can login at the following URL
